In our increasingly connected world, a stable network connection is critical for both work and play. However, network problems can sometimes interfere with our digital activities, causing frustration and disruption. When you encounter network connection problems, it’s important to have troubleshooting skills in your arsenal to get back online quickly. In this post, we’ll look at common network connection problems, as well as how to diagnose and effectively resolve them.
No Internet access
You are connected to the network, but cannot access the Internet.
Reboot your devices
Turn your modem, router, and computer or device off and on. Turn them off, wait a few seconds, and then turn them back on.
Run network troubleshooters
Most operating systems offer built-in network troubleshooters that can automatically identify and fix common problems.
Check for service outages
Contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or visit their website for information about any current outages in your area.
Update drivers
Make sure your network adapter drivers are up to date. Visit the manufacturer’s website to ensure you have the latest drivers.
Troubleshooting DNS
Try changing your DNS server settings to a public DNS service such as Google DNS or OpenDNS to see if this resolves your DNS-related issues.
Check for IP conflicts
Make sure that no other device on your network is using the same IP address. Configure your devices to obtain IP addresses automatically (DHCP).
